4.0 cam upgrade

Well places like Flyin Ryan Performance or HemiFever offer canned tunes plus you can get different tunes for using different octane.
It isn't always about squeezing that last 2-3 HP at wide open throttle. It's more about that range you drive in that you can get some improvements.

From some of the articles I've read the cams used in Jeep & Dodge engines are always on the lower end of performance. So replacing it is a good idea. Adding a tune on top of that is just icing on your cake. Heck no it ain't gunna outperform a Eco Boost truck or some tuner Honda but that isn't the point.

Since you are going to regear why are you only going to 4.88 gears and not 5.13 gears?

Exactly. I'll definitely look into it in the future if I don't do an LS swap or 12V swap (one can dream). As for the gears, I used a gear ratio/tire size chart and decided to go with the 4.88's since they will perform a bit better than the factory ratio, but not kill me with gas milage. I do not daily my jeep, but I do drive it to the trails so it sees a decent amount of highway time. It is also way too late to change my mind, the axles are already built and ready to bolt up to my chassis if it ever comes back from powdercoat lol

Rethink the process > 5.13s and aluminum bumpers.

as for the bumpers, I already have steel
